The Coach House

The Coach House is a sports focused after school & development centre for kids aged from 5 to 12 in DUBLIN 15.

We offer a variety of sport-oriented activities that teach children new techniques whilst having FUN. We provide a non-competitive, encouraging atmosphere that will introduce children to sports and games through play. All activities are geared to motivate and build self-esteem, within a child-friendly environment. We believe that PLAY outside of school is very important. Children no longer get enough time to play, so we have created a FUN environment that allows children to play after school.

Our Goal is to Inspire, Lead and Develop through Health, PLAY and Respect.
